What the page does not say. Clubs or activities and plan after graduation are missing. The rest of the Melrose High School class of 1927 has them often (clubs or activities 83% and plan after graduation 33%), so the gap may belong to the reading rather than to Veronica. The scan is the authority.

What the yearbook said

This smiling blonde is very popular among her classmates, and you can all see why. “Wonnie” has one fault, her persistent use of the phrase “and he” (“Andy”), but we all have our faults. “Wonnie” spends her spare time in Wakefield. She says she is going to waste shoe leather looking for a job. We all hope you will soon find a position, “Sonny,” and remember we all wish you much happiness in the future.
